What action is required if a member wants to propose a new agenda item?

To propose a new agenda item during a meeting, a member must make a motion for it to be added to the agenda. This process is essential because it formally introduces the topic to the group and allows for discussion and consideration.

Making a motion involves clearly stating the desire to add the item and often requires a second from another member to show that there is support for discussing the item. This procedural step ensures that all members have an opportunity to weigh in on whether or not the new agenda item should be considered, thus promoting democratic participation within the meeting.

The other options outline informal or non-standard approaches to adding agenda items, which do not adhere to the structured procedures typically required in formal meetings, where motions serve as the proper method to introduce new topics.
